Definitely bad behaviour in any election. But it would not surprise me to hear that such tactics are used by both sides.
What is the problem that in modern day 2020 one cannot come up with a tamper-proof system of voting? I am baffled.
That is how dems win.
Lie to the public-act like a conservative and then stuff ballot boxes with illegal aliens, dead voters, fake ballots, change ballots from Republican to democrat, suppress Republican voters by having black panthers intimidating people at the polls and lose Republican votes.
They do this EVERY election cycle.

Your comment regarding coming up with a tamper-proof system of voting is a very astute observation. One would think that after all the incidents of voter fraud that have been discovered there would be a national move to develop such a system. One sure fire way to reduce fraud way is voter ID.

History
Breitbart News is a conservative news and opinion website founded in 2007 by Andrew Breitbart (1969–2012). He was a conservative commentator and entrepreneur “a former liberal from Los Angeles who became a conservative” wrote Jonah Engel Bromwich of the NY Times. Breitbart News under his leadership generated news coverage that was praised by the right for its populist, anti-establishment voice, on the left however, he was also accused of being a provocateur and misleading. Andrew Breitbart also co-founded the Huffington Post.
After Andrew Breitbart died in 2012, former investment banker for Goldman Sachs, Stephen Bannon became the executive chairman of Breitbart. Under Bannon the website became more nationalist and a vocal outlet of the alt-right movement. According to Sarah Posner from Mother Jones, during her interview with Bannon, he described Breitbart News as “a platform to the alt-right.” Bannon, who was chief executive of the Trump campaign, and then White House chief strategist for seven months before returning to Breitbart News, had stepped down from his position at Breitbart in 2018.
Larry Solov is the co-founder and CEO of Breitbart News and Alex Marlow serves as editor-in-chief.
In October 2018, Breitbart was banned as a reliable source in Wikipedia. Further, they were added as a reliable news source to Facebook’s new news initiative. This decision was met by harsh criticism by several media outlets, including Media Bias Fact Check.

After the death of Andrew Breitbart in 2012, Larry Solov became CEO and president of Breitbart News. In 2017, according to Politico, Larry Solov revealed the owner of Breitbart as “himself, founder Andrew Breitbart’s widow, Susie Breitbart, and the Republican mega donor family, the Mercers.” Further, Solov also made a statement that he wants “to disclose as little as possible about financial and ownership structure.”
Analysis / Bias
Breitbart consist of various sections called Big Government, Big Journalism, Big Hollywood, National Security, Tech, Sports, and Wired.
Breitbart uses sensational emotionally loaded language in their headlines such as “Obama Loses 2 Million+ Followers During Twitter Fake Account Purge.” They utilize sources such as tabloid entertainment magazine Variety, and credible sources such as Bloomberg. as well as factually mixed sources such as the Daily Mail. Under the Big Hollywood section they publish tabloid stories such as “Fashion Notes: Melania Trump is Posh and Proper for Final Day in England” utilizing fashion sources such as farfetch.com
A 2014 Pew Research Survey found that 7% of Breitbart’s audience is consistently or mostly liberal, 14% Mixed and 79% consistently or mostly conservative. This indicates that Breitbart is heavily preferred by a more conservative audience.
In general, the majority of published stories favor the right and are highly pro-Trump in tone and story selection.
A factual search reveals numerous failed fact checks by IFCN Fact Checkers. Here are just a few of many as an example:
Breitbart Duped by Fake News (Again) (False)
Following Joe Kennedy’s speech, Breitbart says Fall River, Mass. not built by immigrants (False)
Breitbart gets the wrong Loretta Lynch in Whitewater claim (Pants on Fire)
Did Planned Parenthood ‘Team Up’ With Satanists to Promote Abortion Rights in Missouri? (False)
Trump’s ISIS Conspiracy Theory (False)
Breitbart article baselessly claims a study of past climate invalidates human-caused climate change (False)
Overall, we rate Breitbart Questionable based on extreme right wing bias, publication of conspiracy theories and propaganda as well as numerous false claims. (M. Huitsing 7/14/2018) Updated (02/04/2020)
Another far right BS site.

Instead of relying on others to spoon feed you do your own thinking and checking. You post plenty of your own BS.
Breitbart gets it right sometimes as do some of your favorite leftist rags.

The problem we have is the democrats and republicans refuse to work together to solve the problem with each pointing their finger at the other.

Wait... are you telling me that American voters DO NOT have to show ID when they cast their ballots? That is insane!
I guess Canada is way ahead in that regard. I receive a card in the mail that entitles me to vote. I then have to bring that card along with ID to the polling station before I am given a ballot. That card is surrendered when I receive the ballot and my name is marked as having voted. This prevents me from showing up a second time to vote. Seems simple and straight forward to me.

Yep, I hope the border is open in November.
I'll be there to vote and I will do it often.

"Getting it right sometimes" does not define a reliable source that should be used as an authority, or should be considered reliable.

Most people here believe in voter id laws. The problem arises when we're holding an election in November and the Republican states pass the law in October and then shut down the Motor Vehicle Departments that issue the ID's so that minorities have to travel untold miles to get the ID into an area where there is no public transportation.
If the GOP wanted legitimately to get voter ID's, they'd pass the law in January and give people 11 months to get it. The other piece that needs to be done is stop closing the offices that issue it and have an outreach program so everyone can get it.
Easy, peasy, if you don't have a corrupt President in the White House and a corrupt Governor in the mansion.
